To be honest, our inspiration comes from Evernote. We use Evernote to manage our knowledge everyday. But we find that:
- Evernote's editor can't meet our needs, it does not have document navigation, it does not render code properly (as a programmer, syntax highlighted code rendering is a basic need), it cannot resize images and so forth
- We like markdown, but Evernote does not support it.
- We want to share our knowledge, so all of us have our blogs (e.g. on Wordpress) and our Evernote accounts, but why can not those two be one!

Leanote is written in go using revel and MongoDB. Thus, you need to first install MongoDB.
For more tips please have a look at our wiki
The mongodb data is in [PATH_TO_LEANOTE]/mongodb_backup/leanote_install_data
$> mongorestore -h localhost -d leanote --directoryperdb PATH_TO_LEANOTE/mongodb_backup/leanote_install_data
The initial database contains two users:
user1 username: leanote, password: abc123
user2 username: admin, password: abc123
Modify [PATH_TO_LEANOTE]/conf/app.conf. Available configuration options are:
mongodb required
db.host=localhost
db.port=27017
db.dbname=leanote
db.username=
db.password=http.port
